Germany's national team are aiming for a response when they face Serbia in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday evening. The match at Munich's Allianz Arena kicks off at 20:45 local time and comes just days after a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Greece.
Their recent form shows one win, two draws and two losses from the last five outings. The trend has been downward since managing a 1-1 draw against the Netherlands.
Lineup against Greece
For the Greece match, Nagelsmann deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation. The starting eleven featured goalkeeper Alexander Nübel alongside defenders Josha Vagnoman, Yann Aurel Bisseck and Jonathan Tah. Nathan Brown, Felix Nmecha and Joshua Kimmich formed the midfield, with Karim Adeyemi, Brahim Conté, Kevin Schade and Youssoufa Ebnoutalib in attacking roles. Nmecha was the scorer in the 1-1 draw with the Netherlands.
Serbia arrive in Munich following a 2-1 home loss to the Dutch. The midfield consisted of Andrija Živković, Aleksandar Stanković and Sasa Lukić, supported by forwards Sergej Milinković-Savić and Dejan Joveljić.
For Germany, this is a key step in their preparation for upcoming challenges. Tuesday's game offers a chance to rebuild confidence in front of a home crowd and solidify a defence that has conceded four goals while scoring ten in the last five matches. The next competitive fixture is a World Cup qualifier.
